Or a Twitterer. Or a Tweep, I guess?

Whatever you call it, I have gone and conformed. I’ve joined twitter.

You can find me here.

This blogging thing isn’t quite happening as much as I hoped it would. Probably not happening as much as you kind people who stop by would like either. But 140 characters? I think I can manage that more often.

Not that I’m giving up on blogging. But when I do manage to get myself to write something on this page, I’ll be sure to tweet about it to let you know, locking us all into an unending circle of tweeting about blogs and blogging about tweets.

In the meantime, the TV season wrapped about a month ago and I’ve been way late in chatting about it. Allow me to remedy that now.

I am being stalked by a TV show.

Seriously. I’m being stalked by 90210 to be exact. As stalkers go, I lucked out. I could have gotten Kathy Bates from Misery.

As I have mentioned previously, I was a huge fan of the original Beverly Hills 90210. I only stuck with the show through the high school years, but it was one of the first dramas I ever nursed a serious addiction too. (Before that it was all G.I. JOE, Transformers and The Facts of Life. What? I was a child of the eighties.) I’m not as hooked on the new series as I was the original, but it seems to be hooked on me.

Since I lived on the east coast in the early nineties, I never experienced the real world 90210 zip code while I was a fan of the original show. Now, having lived in L.A. for over a decade, I recognize a lot of the locales the new series visits. Remember how excited I was to see that the location of the Peach Pit is a restaurant I frequent? Well, that was nothing compared to the prom episode when the gang celebrated at my old workplace: Paramount Pictures.

My old job was the setting for the 90210 prom!

They all walked in on the red carpet right past the window where we used to pick up our paychecks! (Not that this is a huge surprise. When you used to work at a motion picture and TV studio you sometimes see it in TV shows and motion pictures.) Sure, Donna Martin wasn’t there in some ill-conceived dress, but it was still cool to see a part of my personal history mixed in with one of my old favorite shows.

Speaking of favorite shows, I am so bummed that Privileged was cancelled. The CW is rerunning the series over the summer, so I suggest checking it out before it’s gone. I suspect it will be pulled after only a few more episodes air since it’s not coming back in the fall, but give it a shot. You can always catch up on the rest when it comes out on DVD.

At least Chuck and Dollhouse are coming back. And Friday Night Lights! I’ve long since made peace with the fact that we lost Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies, and Dirty Sexy Money, but they’re all burning off their final episodes on Saturday nights. (Oops. Took me so long to post this that Pushing Daisies has already burnt.)

The networks may think Saturday night is a TV wasteland, but it’s become my personal must see TV viewing, starting with epic Kings, moving on to the cheeserific “horror” show Harper’s Island, and topping it off with the frothy fun on ABC. (Currently Eli Stone).

And how much did we love Fox’s sneak preview of Glee? (I know. Soooo behind.) I’m sure those of you who have read DRAMA! enjoyed it as much as I did. It wasn’t perfect, but I think that was mainly because it could never have lived up to the hype. Still, it is the one show I’m most looking forward to next year. I’ve been humming the show choir version of “Don’t Stop Believing” for the past month.

Until then, I’ll have to keep the music going with So You Think You Can Dance and my DVDs of Fame Season 1. (DRAMA! fans should check that out too. It’s an early eighties pre-Glee classic. Can’t wait for the movie remake this fall either.)

Oh, and since I mentioned G.I. JOE earlier, check out THIS action.
